Well, the current draw on the USA F units is less than the famous GP9... The current readings you see are full stall at 24 to 27 volts typically. <br /> <br />My DCC system is NCE, and right now, I put out 20.1 volts RMS, so right off the bat the current draw is less. 2 locos running NCE 8 amp decoders each, under heavy load is pulling about 3.7 amps at worst case. <br /> <br />The downside is that my top speed is about 58 scale miles per hour, ok for freight, but slower than prototype. <br /> <br />The upside is that nothing burns out, the booster, decoders, etc. <br /> <br />Hope this information is useful, Greg
